Student Organizations Students in the Environmental Studies Program are strongly advised to become members and get involved in professional student chapter activities. A number of student organizations on campus are active in environmental issues. The purpose of this organization is to promote student interest in the environment, specifically in the fields of water treatment, waste water treatment and global pollution mitigation. The chapter also provides an avenue to exchange information and ideas between students and members of both the NJWEA and the Water Environment Federation.
